Moreover, consider using a curtain rod that is wider than the window and it will make the windows themselves appear larger.
Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are seamless and aesthetically pleasing. Proper placement of them can enhance the area greatly.
Multifunctional Furniture
There is an expansive market for multifunctional furniture for small spaces. The popularity of minimalistic living has fostered some of the most innovative pieces. There are new spins on murphy beds, loft beds with workspaces beneath, nightstand desks, storage ottomans, lift-top coffee tables, and more. These items can turn any bedroom into a living room or home office in a flash. Finding ways to pair comfortability with practicality is an exciting and crafty feat.
In exploring the ways to make your studio apartment look bigger, you may find that you have everything you need in a much smaller place than you could’ve imagined.
